However, Nepal, ranked 175 in the FIFA world ranking kept the Malaysian strike force at bay for the first 20 minutes before Indraputra Mahayuddin struck the first blow. In the 25th minute, Mohd Safee made it 2-0 with a brilliantly executed bicycle kick off a pass from Mohd Sukor Adan, that completely caught Nepal goalkeeper Ritesh Thapa by surprise.
Three minutes into the second half, Mohd Safee added his second and Malaysia's third after some good work by Indraputra. Substitute Mohd Khyril Muhymeen Zambry who came on for Mohd Zaquan Adha Abd Radzak in the 46th minute, immediately made an impact by adding his name to the score sheet in the 48th minute to give the 3,000 odd fans some reason to cheer - Bernama
